I think it's a terrible idea. I get the whole walk a mile in our shoes concept but it just doesn't work that way. I was working as an in class math tutor about a month ago. I have the say the dynamics between what the teacher experienced and the sub experienced was completely different.
Great concept, but in reality, the board member(s) just wouldn't get an accurate idea of the classroom dynamics.
Dynamics? No. Mayhem? Yes. Let 'em experience the trial by fire.
That's why I think the sub job would be better than just observing. My students are perfect angels when I am being observed. And while I really appreciate that, it does not give my principal an "authentic experience" of some of the B.S. I have to deal with every day.
Cafeteria duty certainly gives a better picture of the students in their "natural environment".
While we are at it, let's get the Office Administrators, and the politicians that pass these laws in the classroom too!
They wouldn't last a day in some schools.
I wonder if school board members would even qualify to substitute teach. After all, you do need to pass a background check.

If you're a conservative, they qualify. After all, according to USMB right wingers, "education is just a piece of paper".

You spelled substitute wrong, and you should have said 'and' instead of 'an'.

Educators often complain that elected officials have no idea what teachers face in the classroom every day.
Now, a Louisiana state rep wants to change that by forcing school board members to substitute teach for three days a year in their districts.
State Rep. Tim Burns, R-Mandeville, has introduced a bill requiring Louisiana school board members to teach for three full school days each year of their term, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Under the bill, school board members could teach in any school within their system. They would not be paid for their substitute stints.
Should school board members be required to serve as substitute teachers? | Get Schooled
I love this idea. I realize it probably won't pass, but I would love to see ANYONE who thinks they know how to manage a classroom or run a school, "walk the walk".
